As time passed day by day, a month quickly came to an end.
Meanwhile, the yacht carrying Bai Yu and others sailed away from my country's four major seas and entered the North Pacific region.
Over the course of a month, Bai Yu and his companions sailed from the South China Sea to the Bohai Sea on a yacht. After taking a short ride around the Bohai Bay, they finally headed towards the goose-shaped bay along the Xiaobangzi coastline.
Bai Yu and his companions visited many coastal cities along my country's coastline, experiencing the local customs and culture.
We had a lot of fun along the way, but we also spent quite a bit of money.
In addition, Bai Yu has never been one to enjoy things alone. While taking Wang Hai and others on their trip, he would also do live streams for his fans.
For example, if he's in the city at midnight, he'll find a late-night snack shop and do a food livestream to show his fans how much he can eat.
As the live stream drew to a close, Bai Yu didn't know how netizens and fans would react, but he himself was very happy.
As they left their own waters, the number of people on Bai Yu's yacht increased by a few, and these were truly impressive individuals, the kind with real skills.
There was nothing that could be done about it; as we entered 2023, the world situation began to become turbulent.
If we stay at home and don't go out, it's definitely the safest place in the world, bar none.
But Bai Yu and his friends are on a round-the-world trip, which includes places like the Middle East.
Some places were very chaotic, so Bai Yu and his group naturally had to make some corresponding preparations.
Bai Yu originally only found one group of six security personnel, but after thinking about it, she realized that six was still a bit too few, so she found three groups, for a total of eighteen security personnel.
These people include both men and women, hold passports from multiple countries, and speak no fewer than ten foreign languages, including some less common ones.
Of course, hiring so many security personnel comes at a price: he'll have to pay more when it's time to settle the bill.
However, compared to the safety of Bai Yu and his companions, Bai Yu believed that no amount of money was too much to ask for. Safety that money could buy was the most cost-effective way.
Bai Yu and his companions' next destination was a port city with a large goose population.
This city is a major trading city in the Far East region of the Great Goose, and it was also one of the cities that Bai Yu and his team planned to come to purchase goods at the end of last year.
However, due to the salmon population last year, Bai Yu and his crew did not come here to buy king crabs, but instead sent another group of fishing boats to purchase them.
Compared to other cities in the Far East, this city is relatively prosperous, with a port and all kinds of infrastructure.
After Bai Yu and his group arrived, they had no obstacles in their way.
This isn't because our family has a good relationship with geese, so our boats can come and go as they please. It's not for that reason.
Furthermore, the management of various port cities in the Far East is very strict. If you do not apply in advance and do not have someone in the port to contact you, you will not be able to enter the port even if you bring your ship over.
The reason Bai Yu and his group were able to travel freely was because the yacht they were on flew the flag of Yuxue Shipping Company; they were vessels of Yuxue Shipping Company.
Their company pays membership fees to the local fisheries association every year, so they have no problem not only docking at the pier here, but also fishing in the economic zone of Da'e.
Sometimes I really have to say that money is a really good thing, and one that everyone needs.
You can give up many things in life, but you absolutely must have money, and the more the better.
As the yacht docked at the pier near the Goose's house, Bai Yu and the others, dressed in down jackets, stepped out of the cabin. They planned to disembark for a stroll and then go fishing in the sea near the Goose's house.
For Bai Yu and other southerners, the climate here is truly harsh. Even though it's already past the first month of the lunar calendar, the temperature is still very low.
For Bai Yu, wearing a down jacket wasn't enough; he would have been even better off with a military overcoat.
It's a pity. They originally thought the temperature in March would be higher, but they never expected that this place is already very close to the Arctic Circle. Needless to say, the temperature here is much colder than our Northeast.
"Brother Yu, why is it so cold here? If this were in Hainan Province, we would have already started wearing shorts and shorts. Unlike now, we're all wrapped up like dumplings."
Wang Hai was wearing a long down jacket, and he was breathing warm air onto his hands as he walked.
Wang Hai hadn't originally planned to bring a down jacket. The one he's wearing now was one that a fan reminded them to bring when they met him in Dalian.
Actually, even in our home region of Northeast China, the weather in March is generally warm enough to take off your down jacket and just wear a sweatshirt or a fleece-lined shirt.
But they are in the Great Goose Valley now, which is even further north than Northeast China, and this is their first time coming here at this time of year.
"Who would have thought? I thought that after we set off after the Lantern Festival, it would take us about a month to get to Da'e, and by then the temperature here would have risen a bit."
Then we could cross the Bering Strait and take a trip into the Arctic Circle, but who could have imagined it would turn out like this?
Given the current situation, we can't cross the Bering Strait. We can go to Great Britain first, take a detour, and then find another route to the Atlantic Ocean.
Bai Yu was in a similar situation to Wang Hai; both of them were extremely cold.
Bai Yu was filled with helplessness about what to do next.
After all, Bai Yu's original plan was to wait until the ice in the Arctic Ocean melted, and then they would sail directly through the Bering Strait to the Atlantic Ocean, which would be a shorter distance.
However, Bai Yu suffered from his lack of experience. He had grown up in Hainan Province and had previously traveled to mostly tropical and temperate countries for competitions, never having been near the Arctic Circle.
In his memory, the temperature is already quite high in March and April every year, and even in the north, the temperature is not too low.
However, the north that Bai Yu envisioned was a completely different concept from the north he was currently in. The north in our area is still not far enough north.
Now, Bai Yu and the others set foot on the land of the goose, sighing as they walked, until they came to a barbecue restaurant with a sign in Chinese characters, and they went straight inside.
Bai Yu's group wasn't just the eight of them; there were also several staff members and security personnel. They came here with a purpose: to find a certain person from the Big Goose Fisheries Association, who held a certain position within the association.
As Bai Yu pushed open the door of the barbecue restaurant, a bearded man at the counter glanced at Bai Yu and his group, then asked in fluent Chinese:
"Chinese? From Yuxue Shipping Company?"
? ? ?
What's going on? It's understandable that this bearded guy could guess that Bai Yu and the others were Chinese, since people in East Asia all look pretty much the same.
But to be able to guess that they are from Yuxue Shipping Company, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Could it be that someone told him something?
"Yes, we are Yuxue Shipping Company. I am Bai Yu. May I ask who you are?"
Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile on someone else's turf, Bai Yu and his companions politely asked the unfamiliar bearded man a question.
But to Bai Yu's surprise, no sooner had he finished speaking than the bearded man walked out from behind the bar, laughing loudly as he opened his arms to Bai Yu.
"Hahahaha, Bai Yu, my brother, this is Heng Ke. I contacted you by phone before. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Hunk? Hunk, the vice president of the Goose Fisheries Association?"
Bai Yu looked at Heng Ke, who opened his arms to him, and he also hugged him back.
As for his mention of brothers, Bai Yu didn't take it seriously. He could tell that the other party was just being polite; otherwise, given the other party's age, he was probably much older than his father.
What surprised Bai Yu was that this bearded man was the vice president of the Fisheries Association, so why did he open a barbecue restaurant?
Moreover, judging from the business situation of the store, he has run the barbecue restaurant very well. At around 3 pm, which is obviously not the peak dining time, there are quite a lot of diners in the store.
Moreover, there are both locals and Asians here, which shows that their barbecue is really good, otherwise so many people wouldn't come here to eat.
After exchanging pleasantries with Hengke, Bai Yu transferred some money to the other party and then received a note from him.
This note was the main reason why Bai Yu came to find the other party. With this note, their fishing boat would have the right to fish for king crabs in the Bering Strait during the non-fishing season.
As for the money he transferred to Hengke, it was their company's membership fee for this year, and he added a little bit to it, just to treat Hengke and his colleagues to coffee.
It really was just a little bit; Bai Yu didn't give any more. After all, every year Heng Ke could earn a sum from the catch quota that the Goose Fisheries Association gave to their company, so he didn't need to give Heng Ke any extra fees.
After finishing their business, Bai Yu and the others did not rush to leave. Instead, they sat down at Heng Ke's barbecue restaurant to try the barbecue there.
Their group consisted of twelve people in total: eight from Bai Yu, two staff members, and two security personnel who also acted as translators.
It's quite impressive that twelve people can eat all kinds of barbecue. Even though there are quite a few women among them, it doesn't mean their appetites are small; they eat a lot too.
According to Bai Yu's own calculations, these people ate no less than 20 jin of various kinds of grilled meat, as well as a lot of seafood, such as king crab, cod crab, and cod, which they also ate quite a bit of.
The total weight of the barbecue and seafood was about 30 to 40 kilograms.
However, when it came time to pay the bill, the price shocked Bai Yu. Bai Yu, who had originally prepared to spend a lot of money, ended up only spending about two thousand yuan.
Keep in mind that the food they ate consisted of various kinds of grilled meat and seafood, and it only cost them a little over two thousand yuan, which was enough to feed and satisfy all twelve of them.
I had only heard that the cost of living in Da'e was low, and that meat and seafood were very cheap.
But I had only heard about it online before. Only by actually coming to Da'e can you truly appreciate how low the prices are here.
